THE BIG BOYCOTT.

1t should not be forgotten that the
immense strike on the wharves of New
York is in the nature of a gigantic boy
colt. Some 10000 men have quit work
to enforce a method of coercion, which
has been declared a felony in the courts of
several states, and the whole river front
of New York is in great commotion
through the attempt Of the strikers to do
what has sent some Of their brethren to
states prison. The 'longshoremen have
openly declared their intention to stay all
steamship traffic until the companies,
transatlantic and coastwise, shall refuse to
accept freight from the Old Dominion
line, or until that company shall make
terms with the strikers and discharge it's

may be necessary to ask a few railroads,
also. to stop handling Old Dominion
freight, and to boycott the merchants
who buy or sell goods contaminated by

A Rich Clam in New York,

DOVER N. Y, Dec. 27.-Dr. w. w. Weber
states that the claim of the father, William
Weber, as one of the heirs to the plot of land,
sixty-six acres in extent, located in New
York city, south of Canal street, has been
proven. The plot, now studded with mass
i've blocks of buildings, was bought in 1886
by Wilfred Weber Of Holland, who settled
on Manhattan island 9 short time previous.
In 1874 Weber leased the land to a kinsman,
Wilfred Weber, jr., for two hundred years.
On the expiration OF the lease in 1874 the
land naturally reverted to the descendants of
the original Wilfred Weber Now that it is
proven there will be u meeting of the heirs
in New York, January %, to complete ar
rangements for getting possession. The prop
erty is valued at so 100000.

Argentine Republic Wool,

WAsHINGToN, Dec. 27.-Consul Baker in
his report to the department of state, in re-
gard to the wool production of the Argentine
Republic, says the amount of fine wools
shipped TO the United States is annually be-
coming less. The cause of this is in great
part due to the fact that the United States
tariff unintentionally dscriminates against
such woods from the Argentine Republic in
favor of those from Australia New Zealand
etc, our system of computing duties making
no allowance whatever for the fact that the
dirt and grease IN the woods of the Argentine
Republic is fully 20 per cent greater than
those of the former countries this excess of
dirt and grease being required to pay full
tariff rates for wool. The only woods from the
Argentine Republic which it is now possible
to ship under our tariff are 'criolla," or long
carpet woods OF the province of Cordoba
which are shipped from Rosario and which
amount to about 100000 pounds annually

DEs MoINEs Ia, Dec. 21.-TSpecial Tele-
gram to the BEE. Passengers on the Fort
Dodge train from Ruthven were rather sur
prised to hear sounds Of festivity at the
usually quiet town of Gilmore. Looking out
of the window their eyes rested upon a
unique procession that approached the depot.
At its head walked a hard looking citizen of
about fifty years of age, and at his side was
rather fresh looking, black-eyed young
woman of twenty, who was not the least en-
barrassed by her rather unusual situation.
Behind them was a band composed of lifer,
a bass drummer, a man with.a horn and
boy with big piece of sheet iron on which
he made an unearthly noise The passengers
at first supposed that this rather frowsly old
fellow had married the pretty girl and the
parade was charivar; but inquiry devel-
oped the fact the girl was fallen woman
from Des Moines who had come to live with
the man while his wife was absent
from home; that she had come
there at his solicitation; and that the ndig-
nant c tiZens were drumming them out of
town. The man seemed heartily ashamed of
himself, out the girl was as unconcerned as
bronze statue He rode on the tram to the
next station and got off. She came on down
to Des Moines. A passenger on the train
said that the mans name was Ceperly, and
that he invited Minnie Wilson from Des
Mones to spend Christmas with him. The
citizens gathered, to the number of about
$50 to drive them out of town. The band
consisted of one bass drum, three strings of
sleigh bells, one tin boiler, piece of sheet
iron, one dinner bell and a horn The man
took refuge in corn crib, but was put on
the train and sent to Fort Dodge. If he re-
turns they say they will tar and feather him.

Billings Confesses to Forgery.

WATERLOO, Ia, Dec. 27.-The coroners in
vestigation into the killing of Attorney
Kingsley drags slowly along and will proba-
bly, not be completed before tomorrow. At
the opening hour Billings was called to the
stand and was questioned until late hour.
He confessed having forged the signature of
Lawyer Gibson to documents which, 1t is
thought, he intended to use in extorting
from Kingsley his signature to the blank
mortgages found with other papers in
Billings position when arrested. These
included chattel mortgage on almost every
thing Kingsley owned, his books, horses and
buggy, his house and personal property, and
needed only Kingsey's signature to place in
Billings possession property worth several
thousand dollars. 1t is supposed that to Sc
cure the necessary signature was Billings
errand in Kingsley's office on the day of the
fatal shooting. AS the investigation pro-
ceeds the friends of Kingsley are more loud
in their assertions that the whole affair will
yet prove a gigantic Matchmaking scheme.
The largest number of people ever present at
funeral in Bremen county gathered at the
Methodist church in Waverly to pay their
last respects to the late Attorney Kingsley.
Rev. DR.. Hoyce and Rev. Albrook delivered
short sermons, eulogizing the dead man. and
many eyes were wet with tears dictated by
sympathy for the parBlts weeping silently
over the dead body of their son. Followed
by vast number of friends, and hundreds
attracted by curiosity, the remains of William
Kingsley were lowered to their final resting
place.
